And Guff, we've been following the career, short career so far of Tim Anderson.

We see a new Tim Anderson here, but it turns out it's not the new Tim Anderson,

it's the real Tim Anderson who's coming out of his shell.

Yeah, the shell no longer exists. I mean, he hasn't just come out.

He's left it all in the past.

And it's refreshing, I think, for all of us,

because probably not just for him, too, but to actually know what this kid's all about and to know,

he's used Michael Jordan's name several times. He used it last year once. I know he's the Jordan

Pippin thing with him in Mancada. He wants to be great,

but he's saying it now and backing it up. Before, he would occasionally let it slip and there

would just be like not a lot of actual material there. Now he is really opening up. Yeah, he wanted

to be like this last year. And last year at spring train, he was a little

bit different from the year before, a lot different, actually. But then his life got derailed with the

murder of his best friend. I mean, this is like not just a best friend. It's like a brother to him.

Godfather of his child. Yeah, he's the godfather of his child.

And in May he was murdered.

And I think what happened with Tim was he didn't have the tools, the mental tools to deal with this.

Who does?

Of course.

Yeah.
